January

This month we update the home page, share Barbara’s photo of her much-tended orchids, and Tony’s poem: ‘this day’.

Tony Holden poem - this day

My poems often begin with an idea or a feeling,

{As I shelter from the day’s grim news

Or gasp when science, yet again, changes our views},

Meanwhile a poem merges time and silence and place

Where ‘words’ and ‘being-reality’ find intimate space –

Then, sometimes in their meeting

A poem sends everyone reeling

With joy and peace.
